Chapter 1401: It Is All For Profit

~7 min read 1,284 words

"Heh, in this world, profit is paramount," Li Yunshan sneered. "Do you really think our relationship with Dragon Breath is inseparable? That's a joke. You don't know what a filthy person your sect master is, do you?"

"These things were all ordered by my master?" Zhou Xianzong found it somewhat hard to believe.

"If he didn't order it, who would be bored enough to provoke Dragon Breath? Am I sick?" Li Yunshan sneered. "It's not just Dragon Breath; in the past, whenever someone detrimental to the sect appeared, I was the one who stepped up to resolve it. I'm the one who secretly does the dirty work."

"I understand." Zhou Xianzong nodded slightly. He was slowly digesting these matters. He never imagined that Cloud Hut Residence, which seemed to have an unbreakable relationship with Dragon Breath, would actually be like this with them.

"Of course, don't look at those old geezers from Dragon Breath as ordinary people either," Li Yunshan said. "They are all profit-driven. In this world today, where are there still people who act for the country and the people?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Xianzong nodded slightly. He had truly never heard of these things before.

"Alright, since Chen Yu is a person from Dragon Breath, and an important one at that, I will go meet him, lest he leaves Modu and I don't know where to find him again." Li Yunshan stood up, then his figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

Watching Li Yunshan leave, Zhou Xianzong finally let out a long sigh of relief. A sneer appeared on his face: "Chen Yu, let's see how you hide this time."

Chen Yu, of course, did not know he was being targeted. Originally, he was going to find Black Tiger today; if there were no issues, he would let Black Tiger and Qingji leave for the Demon Department.

But just after getting out of the car and walking to a dead-end road, he suddenly felt his consciousness waver for a moment.

Looking at the road in front of him, although it was the same as before, in fact, some strange things had already been added to it.

Chen Yu didn't pay much attention and stepped forward, but this dead-end path of only a hundred meters seemed as if it could never be walked to the end.

His brows locked slightly, and he looked into the distance in surprise. He remembered that he had just walked the road in front of him.

But after he walked forward for a distance, he inexplicably returned to the place he had passed before.

After this happened several times in a row, he stopped his footsteps and stopped walking forward.

"Which expert is it? Show yourself and let's meet," Chen Yu said indifferently.

The Five Elements Escape Array, an array based on the Yin-Yang Five Elements, had firmly trapped his figure here. This kind of array was not difficult to break, but he was too lazy to break it; he would just call the person out to see what they were doing and what their intentions were.

A loud burst of laughter came over, and an old man's voice was elusive, as if it were coming from all directions: "The Five Elements Escape Array shouldn't be able to stump you, right?"

"Who are you?" Chen Yu sent out his Divine Sense, searching for the other party's figure.

"Don't waste your energy; your consciousness won't find where I am," the other party chuckled. "My name is Li Yunshan."

"Do we know each other?" Chen Yu's brows locked slightly. Indeed, his Divine Sense could not capture the other party's figure at all. This guy was an expert, and the kind of expert skilled at hiding his figure; finding him would likely not be easy.

"I know you, but you don't know me," Li Yunshan smiled slightly. "Your name is Chen Yu."

"That's right, I am Chen Yu, you haven't found the wrong person," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Your array is indeed not hard to break, but I'm too lazy to break it. There's no point in you trapping me like this, why not show yourself?"

"Showing myself is unnecessary. I'm an old man, and if I show myself, I'm afraid of getting beaten up," Li Yunshan chuckled. "If you don't break the array, you can only be trapped here. If I trap you for ten or eight years, you'll starve to death."

"Are you really not going to show yourself?" Chen Yu looked around, but his Divine Sense was unable to lock onto the other party's figure. It seemed the other party's combat experience was extremely rich.

"Heh, I won't show myself, so don't waste your energy," Li Yunshan chuckled. "I've long heard of your great name; seeing you today, you're nothing special."

"Are you targeting me on purpose?" Chen Yu was somewhat surprised. He didn't know the other party, but looking at the other party's manner, it seemed they were deliberately coming for him.

"Not too deliberately, it's just that you killed a disciple of my sect, so I must seek justice for my disciple," Li Yunshan said.

"Then you really must say who you are," Chen Yu laughed. "I've killed plenty of demons and monsters; which sect are you from?"

"You don't need to know where I'm from; you only need to know that you must die here today," Li Yunshan smiled slightly.

Immediately after, Chen Yu felt a faint fluctuation of magic power before his eyes. This fluctuation was not very strong, but several transparent blades condensed in the air and whistled toward him.

Chen Yu suddenly vanished from the spot. When he appeared, he had just bypassed that trace of magic power fluctuation. He gave a deep shout, pointed his right hand into the void, and with his Sword Finger raised, a blade condensed from Primordial Qi whistled away.

Three strands of Sword Qi condensed but did not scatter, attacking forward, and the air directly in front of him twisted slightly, followed by the appearance of a figure.

This figure scrambled to meet Chen Yu's Sword Qi. The Sword Qi slashed out, piercing a hole in his sleeve.

The Great Array was broken, and only then did Chen Yu realize that the road he had just bypassed had somehow brought him to the wilderness.

After neutralizing Chen Yu's Sword Qi, Li Yunshan said with a chuckle: "Kid, not bad. No wonder that old thing had to ask me to take action. Relying solely on the disciples under his name, they would just be courting death in front of you."

"So who exactly are you?" Chen Yu stared at Li Yunshan. "Do we know each other?"

"I seem to have said just now that I know you, but you don't know me," Li Yunshan said. "A female disciple of my sect was killed by you, so I am here to seek justice for her."

"When did that happen?" Chen Yu was stunned; he didn't remember having any conflict with a woman.

"Not long ago, the matter in Modu. Although I have a grudge with my Senior Brother, that is a matter between us and does not affect my need to abide by my sect's rules. Our disciples are not allowed to be infringed upon in any way," Li Yunshan said.

"Old man, have you been used by someone?" Chen Yu laughed. "I have never hurt any woman in Modu."

"I'm not stupid, how could I be used by someone?" Li Yunshan shook his head, then he turned his head to look at Chen Yu and said: "How about we fight quickly? After resolving the encirclement, I can enjoy myself properly and then go into seclusion."
